Back in the 1960s, I once read an old, second hand, comic book about relations between the Earth and the Moon. In some television messages from the Moon, the hero saw a beautiful Moon woman, while other messages from the moon involved a yellow-skinned man with antlers on his head named Pan-ku.

Pan-ku was correctly identified in the comic with a mythical Chinese first man or creation god. As a result some Chinese people turned to his side.

As the Moon began to attack the Earth, the hero traveled to the Moon in a rocket ship hoping to meet the beautiful Moon woman and - oh yes - maybe get around to saving the Earth from the devastating lunar attacks.

This appears to be Rocket to the Moon, an adaptation of Maza of the Moon by Otis Adelbert Kline. I haven't read the comic version, but the plot you describe is an exact match to the novel. The Emperor of the Moon being named P'an-ku has got to be distinctive.

cometaryorbit - you're right. I was planning to answer this myself if nobody answered within a reasonable time. A few years ago I remembered this comic and investigated. For some reason I thought of Maza of the Moon, which I never read, and found a synopsis. Once I read about Pan-ku I knew the comic based on Maza was it.
